5. India's white-ball tour of England

Under Shubman Gill's leadership, a young Indian team fared well in the five-match Test series against England played in the United Kingdom last year. The series ended in a 2-2 stalemate. In 2026, the two teams are going to lock horns once again, but this time, there are only going to be white-ball matches.

In July, the Men in Blue will be heading to England to play five T20Is and three ODIs against Harry Brook and Co. The ODI leg is going to be particularly important as both teams will look to test themselves ahead of the 50-over World Cup in 2027.
